But children's early sex education can't be ignored. They already have gender awareness in the fourth grade, so proper sex education is still necessary.
Parents generally believe that when children actively ask sexual questions, such as why girls don't have penises, or participate in sexual games, such as touching their sexual organs, they should start educating their daughters. It is a natural opportunity for children to ask questions related to sex, but such practical education is passive, lacks planning and fails to provide appropriate counseling according to children's age. ?
In fact, parents can set educational goals and contents according to their children's physical and mental development stages, and actively impart sex-related knowledge to their children.
Parents can teach pre-school children to distinguish gender, body organs and functions, and tell them that the arrival of life is based on their parents' love. For school-age children, parents can help them understand the growth of the body, the birth of life, the role and relationship between the sexes, and even sexual assault. In addition, parents need to clarify the correct and distorted sexual information transmitted by the media to their children from time to time.
When the child approaches puberty (starting from about nine years old), parents should help the child understand the physiological (such as body hair, lunar calendar) and psychological changes when the second sexual characteristic appears. In addition, the attitude of getting along and the relationship between "sex" and "love" are also important topics, which can help children establish a correct concept of sex.
